Chapter 269: Eating and Taking
Chapter 269: Eating and Taking
An old lady walked over slowly: "Aying!"
Qiu Wanying turned around and smiled: "Mom!"
Jiang Xiaohe quickly bowed: "Hello, Auntie."
The old woman gave her a helping hand, then reached out and held Qiu Wanying. Qiu Wanying also stepped forward and held the old woman's arm: "Mom, this is Hetang's sister, Xiaohe."
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "My son-in-law usually keeps to himself. It's rare that he has a sister. Come on, come in and have a cup of tea first."
As he said this, he extended his hand towards Jiang Xiaohe.
Jiang Xiaohe didn't expect the old woman to be so enthusiastic, and she felt a little embarrassed as she was led to the backyard by her.
She kept looking at Qiu Wanying, and Qiu Wanying smiled and comforted her.
When they reached the backyard, the old woman said to the servants and maids, "It's rare that Ah Ying brought people here today. Go and bring up all the delicious food at home."
Qiu Wanying smiled and pulled Jiang Xiaohe to sit down: "Don't be surprised, my mother is always so warm and hospitable."
The old woman also sat down and said with some anger: "My daughter usually doesn't have many friends, and my son-in-law often comes and goes by himself. After she married my son-in-law, she has been focusing on her family. Not to mention bringing friends here, she doesn't even visit her parents' home often."
Qiu Wanying stood up and walked to the old woman, massaging her shoulders: "Mom, Xiaohe is here, you can't ruin my show in front of her."
The old woman took her hand and patted the back of her hand with a smile: "Mother, you are so happy that you said a few more words."
Then he pulled her to sit down.
Qiu Wanying said: "Mom, the doll we sold last year was made by Xiaohe and her family."
The old man's eyes lit up: "Oh, really? The design of your puppet is really good!"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Just do it casually."
The old woman also smiled and said, "No matter what, I have to entertain you well today."
Jiang Xiaohe waved her hands quickly: "Aunt, no, no."
The old man said seriously: "It's used!"
After saying that, he called out, "Auntie Li!"
Then an old servant came and said, "Prepare a rich lunch. We have distinguished guests at home."
After saying that, I felt that it was not working: "Forget it, I'll go check on the lunch myself."
Then let Jiang Xiaohe and the others have a good rest in the hall, and she will be there soon.
Jiang Xiaohe is so reserved. This makes her feel so embarrassed.
Qiu Wanying noticed that she was a little embarrassed, so she quickly stood up and walked to her side, saying with a smile: "Xiao He, don't feel restrained. My parents have always been very hospitable, and you are He Tang's adopted sister, so it is inevitable that you will be more enthusiastic."
After that, he sighed again: "Hetang had little luck in his first half of life. He had no father or mother, no brothers or sisters, and except for his brother Chang, he often kept to himself. I felt bad seeing him like that, but fortunately, he was doing business outside, and I thought it was a good thing that he could recognize you as his sister, so I wanted to bring you to meet my parents. I thought it was good to recognize you as a relative, after all, we will have to deal with each other often in the future."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I just think it's a bit too troublesome."
Qiu Wanying smiled and said, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I've been the only girl in my family since I was young. Now that I have a sister like you, I feel so happy that I can't wait to have you. How can I think it's a bother?"
After that, she took Jiang Xiaohe to the front hall: "Come on, my mother will definitely show you her skills in the kitchen, let's go to the front hall to check out the materials."
.....
The lunch was unusually sumptuous. There was another old man who came with Old Mrs. Qiu. Jiang Xiaohe guessed that this was Qiu Wanying's father.
He shouted respectfully, "Hello, uncle."
The old man had a big belly and a big smile on his face as he said, "Are you the sister that Hetang recognized from outside?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded.
The old man quickly asked her to sit down and said with a smile: "I heard my son-in-law praise you before. Now that I see you, you are really as good as a man."
"Uncle, you are too kind. I just do a little business to make a living for my family."
The old man shook his head: "No, no, you deserve it for doing such a good business."
"Dad, that's enough. If you keep talking like this, the food will get cold."
The old man smiled and said, "You are the only one who loves to eat. Why don't you bring my grandchildren here today?"
"That's so noisy!"
At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing. The two old people said to Jiang Xiaohe, "Visit each other more often in the future. We don't have any relatives in Hetang, but now we have a sister like you. We should visit each other more often."
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded.
After finishing the meal, the two old people called the waiter again, and refused to take a penny for the cloth selected by Jiang Xiaohe. They smiled and said that it was a gift for her.
Jiang Xiaohe felt really embarrassed to eat and take things at the same time, and thought to herself that next time she must draw two nice clothing patterns and send them over as a way of repaying them.
Qiu Wanying asked the carriage to take her to the inn before leaving.
Chang Wei was upstairs watching her carrying bags upstairs and hurried over to help.
“You guys bought a whole day!”
Jiang Xiaohe was actually a little speechless, but she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Qiu Wanying and her family.
Zhang Qingshan also took half of the things in Jiang Xiaohe's hand, and she felt a little relieved.
"Sister Qiu and her family are so welcoming."
"Did your sister-in-law take you to meet her family?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded, and Chang Wei looked like he had an okay, I understand expression.
Jiang Xiaohe took a look and asked: "Have you also met Sister Qiu's family?"
Chang Wei nodded: "Of course I have seen it. My uncle and aunt were so enthusiastic that I couldn't resist them. They ate and took things, as if they wanted to empty the shop for me."
After saying that, he smiled helplessly.
But that's not it.
Chang Wei helped her put the things into the house. Jiang Xiaohe asked him, "Brother Meng, what are you going to do now?"
"Why don't you mind him? He is not the one who will suffer any loss. Besides, he can't swallow this anger."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded.
Chang Wei asked her again: "When will you return to town?"
Jiang Xiaohe sorted the things while saying, "It will only be in the next two days. Brother Meng said he will find a new place to open the business. I will hand over the business and then go back."
Chang Wei nodded: "Okay, I have nothing to do these days anyway, I will wait for you all the way and take care of you on the way back."
Jiang Xiaohe wanted to say no, but when she thought about how these people could set fire this time, would they kill people on the road like Wu Lao did last time? So she nodded quickly: "Okay, we'll go together when the time comes."
